Nikki Green of of Fish Hoek, Cape Town, writes of Pres Obama’s landing on the sportsfields in front of her house:

“What excitement to see Obama right in front of us (well what we could see J ) but there can’t be many people that can say they have been a mere 10 meters away from him, albeit behind glass. This was right at the bottom of our driveway. I just loved the dogs sitting and watching as well, they must have been wondering if the Obama’s had brought Bo along (their dog) and of course had to snap the guys on our neighbours roof, hilarious!
